Russia U18 head coach Vladimir Filatov:

- I liked how our players applied pressure during the first period, it was clear how they were competing with desire. It's too early to speak about the final roster for the tournament, though, we will analyse all of the video footage we have. 21 skaters and three goalkeepers will travel to the Czech Republic with us. A lot of the guys hadn't skated for a while before this training camp, so we needed to get them back in shape. We've been working on tactical, technical and conditioning aspects of the game.
